Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The homies we found us a way to get by
Let's call us some bitches and have a good time
A lot of bottles of Vodka as we forget time
Let's clean up the Chevy so we can ride by
Quick piece of pussy call it a drive by
I'ma slide by sipping on that high life
And my slippers jack triple where my five light
Touchdown field goal this my night
She the wild type ready for the wild night
Are you the bi type hanging at the bar type
I hope you are cause that mean a player all right
Smokin' like a Taylor so the paper is all white
Tryna to land a plane baby are you really game
Back to the future me and Wiz got this thing saying
I stay high while ya'll stay low
Tryna tell me bout the smell I know
My eyes stay red from all that smoke
The weeds with me everywhere I go
And y'all can't roll, woah woah woah woah woah woah woah oh oh oh
I got yo girl digging all in my ash tray
Dicking her down for the few past days
She asked the name of my sneakers, are they designer
Shawty green as the reefer even the grinder
Fucking like its a porn in my recliner
Looking straight in the eyes, they show vagina
She's a liar but damn she does it well
We on fire imagine what it'll sell
All my homies are people that I admire
Small clique of real niggas smoking that fire
Holding my dick until the day that I expire
We and Wiz in the Benz getting higher
I stay high while ya'll stay low
Tryna tell me bout the smell I know
My eyes stay red from all that smoke
The weeds with me everywhere I go
And y'all can't roll, woah woah woah woah woah woah woah oh oh oh
I'm in the right pair of Nike Airs
From gravel to marble I travel light years
I'm like chyea I'ma chill right chea
Like the Mack 11 on me nigga no fear
Skateboard aboard to PanAmerica
I make more abroad than in America
Waiting for the day Bob rose from the dead
In HD as I take an ounce to the head
I stay high while ya'll stay low
Tryna tell me bout the smell I know
My eyes stay red from all that smoke
The weeds with me everywhere I go
And y'all can't roll, woah woah woah woah woah woah woah oh oh oh
The opening lines of Rick Ross's "RetroSuperFuture" delve into the rapper's love for getting high. The song goes on to describe a night of hanging out with friends, drinking vodka, and picking up women. Ross speaks about cruising around in his Chevy, enjoying the high life, and finding satisfaction in all of his accomplishments. He also talks about the people in his life that he admires, and the close-knit group he surrounds himself with. One of the most memorable lines in the song is when Ross says, "All my homies are people that I admire, small clique of real n****s smoking that fire", which speaks to his loyalty to his friends and their shared interest in smoking weed. The song ends with Ross mentioning his love for his Nike Airs, traveling to different places, and hoping for a day when Bob (presumably Bob Marley) comes back to life.
Overall, "RetroSuperFuture" is a anthem for living in the moment and savouring the simple pleasures in life, such as smoking weed, hanging out with good friends, and enjoying success. At the same time, it also speaks to the underlying emotions that drive these behaviours, such as the need to escape from reality, the desire for companionship, and the thrill of taking risks. It's a song that celebrates the ups and downs of life, and the different ways people cope with them.

The minute I wake up I gotta get high

The homies we found us a way to get by
Me and my group have found a way to survive this difficult life

Let's find some women to entertain us and to have a pleasurable experience

We consume a large amount of alcohol to lose track of time
Let's clean up the Chevy so we can ride by
Let's clean and prepare our car to cruise around in it
Quick piece of pussy call it a drive by
A quick sexual encounter while driving is referred to as a drive-by
I'ma slide by sipping on that high life
I will cruise by while indulging in high-quality liquor

As an all-star, I made so many highlights
As a successful person, I have accomplished many notable achievements
Touchdown field goal this my night
This is my night to shine and to successfully achieve my goals
She the wild type ready for the wild night
She is adventurous and ready to have a good time
Are you the bi type hanging at the bar type
Are you bisexual and the type to hang out at bars?

I submerge myself in drugs while others do not
Tryna tell me bout the smell I know
You're trying to inform me about the scent, but I am already aware

My eyes remain red from the constant consumption of marijuana
The weeds with me everywhere I go
Marijuana is my constant companion

You guys can't roll joints as well as I can
I got yo girl digging all in my ash tray
Your girlfriend is searching through my ashtray for marijuana remnants, indicating her loyalty to me over you
Dicking her down for the few past days
I have been having sex with her recently
She asked the name of my sneakers, are they designer
She shows interest in the quality and brand of the shoes I am wearing
Shawty green as the reefer even the grinder
She is inexperienced, naive, and still learning, like a newly planted young plant, compared to the more mature plant she is associated with
Fucking like its a porn in my recliner
We are engaging in sex in a particularly wild and uninhibited manner
Looking straight in the eyes, they show vagina
While looking at her, it is apparent that she is sexually aroused
She's a liar but damn she does it well
She is lying, but she is able to do it convincingly and skillfully
We on fire imagine what it'll sell

We and Wiz in the Benz getting higher

I'm in the right pair of Nike Airs
I am wearing the perfect pair of stylish and comfortable Nike shoes
From gravel to marble I travel light years
I have gone from humble beginnings to luxurious and extravagant living
I'm like chyea I'ma chill right chea
I am taking a moment to relax and enjoy my current situation
Like the Mack 11 on me nigga no fear
I am confident and not afraid to take risks, like someone carrying a weapon
Skateboard aboard to PanAmerica
I am cruising through PanAmerica on a skateboard
I make more abroad than in America
I am more successful outside of America compared to within the country
Waiting for the day Bob rose from the dead
I am eagerly anticipating a potential collaboration with Bob Marley
In HD as I take an ounce to the head
I am experiencing the highest quality experience while consuming a significant amount of marijuana
